Mojo’s Tall Tales

Mojo has an uncanny ability to provide unique, outrageous explanations about various topics with bold confidence. Out of the blue, he will ask a question to see if you are familiar with the topic. When he is sure you are clueless, he educates you. Here is a recent Mojoism(see definition below) and how it came in to being:

(The whole family was in the car on the way home from dinner at my Mom’s house.)

Mojo: “Mom, how long is the longest web-cast?”

Me: “What do you mean? Do you mean the longest in length, as in it lasts for days, or the web-cast that has been around the longest?”

Mojo: “The one that has been around the longest.”

Me: “I have no idea.”

Mojo: “The longest web-cast ever was started in 1495 and is it is still going.”

Me: “Really? I bet it was started by Christopher Columbus, who arrived in 1492, but it took a while to hook up a generator large enough to get the Internet up and running.”

Mojo: “Yes, that’s right!”
